The ecological function of boreal forests is challenged by drastically changing climate conditions. Although an increasing number studies are investigating how change influencing growth and distribution tree species, there a lack examining the potential these species to genetically adapt or phenotypically adjust. Here, we sampled clonally non-clonally growing white spruce trees (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) investigate spatial genetic effects on ring width six xylem anatomical traits...
Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of drought events in many boreal forests. Trees are sessile organisms with a long generation time, which makes them vulnerable to fast climate hinders adaptations. Therefore, it important know how forests cope stress explore genetic basis these reactions. We investigated three natural populations white spruce ( Picea glauca ) Alaska, located at one drought‐limited two cold‐limited treelines paired plot design forest treeline...
Treeline ecosystems are of great scientific interest to study the effects limiting environmental conditions on tree growth. However, growth is multidimensional, with complex interactions between height and radial In this study, we aimed disentangle climate xylem anatomy white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] at three treeline sites in Alaska; i.e., one warm drought-limited, two cold, temperature-limited. To analyze general differences trees from different sites, used data annual ring...
